Indictments Found Against the Bald Knob
bers-Inhuential Citizens Implicated.
OZARK, Mo, April %. - The Grand
Jury has indicted all of the Bald Knobbers
now under arrest, eleven in number, for
the murder of George Edens.
Frank Bean, who recently pleaded
guilty, turning States evidence, was sen.
fenced TO ten years in the penitentiary.
1t is reported that Judge Hubbard's in
structions to the Grand Jury have spread
terror throughout the Bald Knobber's sec
tiOn about Chadwick, and that general
exodus of the unmasked brotherhood will
take place soon.
Joe lnman has made out a list of the
members of the Bald KnObbers' Order of
Christian county, and he duplicates
preachers, merchants doctors, Justices of
the Peace and many wealthy and in1uen-
tial citizens. Inman and Graves agree
with Walker in estimating the number in
Christian county at 500, and name many
prominent men who accompanied them in
criminal raids behind the black mask.
Graves relates how Walker proposed to
prove an alibi for each man present at the
Edens-Green murder, fixing unimDeach-
able witnesses for each guilty man. The
Chief himself carried his wounded boy in
Douglas county that night, relying on
proving that he could not have been near
Green's premises on the fatal night Pub
lie opinion has asserted itself and the
Regulators are now terror-stricken.

THE NATIONAL COMMISSION
Hears More Petitions for the Suspension
of the Fourth Section.

Hears More Petitions for the Suspension
of the Fourth Section.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Before the
Interstate Commerce Commission this
morning Charles p. Clarke, President Of
the New York and New Haven Railroad,
presented petition in behalf of certain
roads in Southern New England, ask
ing for the suspension of the fourth
section of the law on account Of water
competition at n great number of points.
He addressed the commission briefly In
support of his petition, assuming that in
asmuch as the section had been suspended
for certain portions of the country the
same concession would be made for the lines
here represented. He avowed himself a
believer in the bill, but did not think
Congress meant it to bring ruin to any of
the business interests of the country.
The petitioning railroads are the New
York and New Haven, New York and New
England, the New York City and North
ern, the HousatOnic, the Naugatuck, the
New Haven and Northampton, the Hart
ford and Connecticut Valley, the Hartford
and Connecticut Western, the New London
and Northern, the Boston and Providence,
the Providence and Worcester, and the Old
Colony.
Several attorneys for the the transcOnti-
mental transportation interests addressed
the Commission briefly, supplementing
their remarks of yesterday. Mr.. Tweed,
for the Southern Pacific, directed his at
tention to the protests OF the Eastern sugar
men, and of Sutton & CO., of the Cape
Horn clipper lines. The protests, he said,
were based upon the assumption that the
law was passed to prevent low rates and
maintain high ones. He cOntended that
this was not the purpose of the law. The
roads must have a free foot" in order to
protect themselves. Were it possible
for the commission to fix a rate below
which the roads should not 60, the steam
ship would then give rates few cents un-
der, and thus the action would so for
naught lie maintained that the action Of
the commission should be predicated
neither upon the personal wishes of the
petitioners, nor the conditions of certain
markets; but upon broader and more gen
eral principles applicable to all sections.
The Commission devoted the afternoon
session to q conference with closed doors.

Tho Suicide of Daniel Day In the West
Stove Strike at Marietta.
Special telegram 10 Lhe Register:
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, April 2l.-In-
formation reached here to-day of the sui
eide in the West, few days ago, of Daniel
Day. He was a wealthy farmer in Illinois
at the time of his death, to which State he
went some years ago. His suicide was
caused from brooding over physical all
ments that came upon him as the result
of fall in which he dislocated his shoul-
der, causing terrible Inflammation, from
the effects of which he was wasted away to
almost skeleton. While his family were
absent from the house he got hold Of q
razor and drawing it across his throat
caused instant death. Some time after he
was found by his family with the razor in
his hand. Day will be remembered as an
old river pilot years ago on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, and subsequently cap
tain on different steamboats,. He was born
in Allegheny county, Pa, and was about
65 years old. For q number of yeats pre-
yiops to going West he lived near Marietta.
Kshe molders at Nye's foundry ut Mar
ietta are out on strike and the foundry is
closed. 1t seems that the trouble is over
q refusal of the mOlders to use certain pat
terms. The Nye Hardware Company be-
longs to an association known as the
Defence Association one of whose rules is
that if the molders of firm belonging to
this association are on strike, that firm
can send work to other firms belonging to
the association and the firm to which it is
sent must have it done. A firm in st.
Louis, because of q strike, sent patterns
for their work to the Nye Foundry, and be-
ing new ones the molders have refused to use
them. The foundry has shut down to
await the end of the trouble in st. Louis.
Now that the trustees Of the Methodist
Church are going to hold an adjourned
meeting in this city TO locate the Ladies
Seminary, our citizens are taking posi-
tive interest in the matter and will en-
deayor to get it. An offer Of $4,000 on
very easy conditions has been made by a
lady and other offers will be made here on
the 18th of May when the Trustees meet.
Notice has been given that all tobacco
merchants must take out new license on
the 1st of May for the entire year, or else
they will not be allowed to sell. The
oversight in making the new law go in
TO operation the 25th of May, just % days
after the license year expired, was a bad
one. It's effect is to postpone the abolition
of the tax for whole year, or else mer-
chants must refrain from selling for %
days.
There has been slight frosts here for the
past three nights, but no damage of inn
portance to either grain or fruit has been
reported. Everything looks most promis-
ing in the field.

CORRIGAN STRIKES BACK.
What He Will DO To the Paper That Has
Been AttacIkicg Him.

NEW YORK, April 22-The Mail and
Express says: Archbishop Corrigan has
launched another bolt at the friends and
supporters of DIR. McGlyDn. The Catholic
Herald has beeen staunch supporter of
DIR. McGlynn, and has directed
some fiery assaults upon the Archbishop
and Mgr. Preston. Now the Archbishop
has struck back. He has addressed let
ter to the Herald, in which he calls atten-
tion to the fact that as the Herald assumes
to be a Catholic paper, it must obey the
injunction which the third Plenary Coun-
ell placed on all Catholics to refrain from
attacking publicly the manner in which
any bishop rules his diocese. He con-
cludes his letter in the following signi6-
can't clause: ''FOr some time past
the utterances of the Catholic Herald
have been shockingly scandalous. As this
paper is published in the diocese, / declare
that il you continue in this course Of con-
duct it viii be at your peril"
If this warning is not needed by the
journal in question, it will be publicly de-
nounced from every Catholic pulpit in the
city. As this the first time for many
years that an American Catholic journal
has been condemned, this case will cause
wide comment

"REDs" AND "BJlACKs'' UNITE,
AmalgamatIOn of SOciallstIc Organizations
For Political PURPOSES.

AmalgamatIOn of SOcialIstIc Organizations
For Political Purposes.
CHICAGO, April 22.-It is asserted that
the three Socialistic organizations of the
United States are about to coalesce.
The three, it is said, will join forces,
form one body, with a general executive
board, and as a unit will take part in all
political fights, municipal, State and Ma
tiOnal.
The three organizations are, first, the
SOcialistic Labor party, strong in all large
cities, and already a power in politics. Its
members are the mild or conservative men,
whose connection with others has gained
for them the name of Socialists. Its meth
Ods are those Of the social Democrats of
Germany, a large number of the members
being of that nationality.
The International WOrkingmen's Asso-
citation, bold and strong in the Western
States, is another rs the organizations It's
members are known as the "Reds," and
are mainly responsible for the fight made
in the West against Chinese labor. Riots
and Outrages are charged against the or
ganizatiOn. With strong, violent bodies
of men in Portland, San Francisco, Den
yer and other Western points, it has already
changed the aspect of elections. They
have two vigorous organs that make con-
verts daily.
The "Black, or Working Peoples As
sOciatiOn is the third party. 1t has shown
its power in the country within the past
year or two. This is the body whose
members are called Anarchists. The Chi
ergo groups, anticipating the present ac-
ton, disbanded, leaving the members free
to join whatever body their inclinatiOns
might lead them into. The groups in
other cities are strong and hail the ANAL
gamatiOn with delight.
The Red InternatiOnalistsO OF Portland
recently sent letter TO the editor of their
Denver organ, asking him to draw up
plan for the reorganization of all the
bodies. He appointed committee and it
will draw up the plans, which will be pre-
sented TO the national conference 10 be
called in a few days, either in Kansas

FREE TRADE WITH CANADA.
Goodwin smith Think. England WIN Allev

Goodwin Smith Thinks England WIN Allow
the Proposed Commercial Unioa.
NEW YORK, April 22.-The attitude Of
Great Britain in regard to the question Of
q possible commercial union between the
United States and Canada, rs sforeshadowed
in the Bntterworth bill introduced in the
last session Of Congress, would have very
great influence in the matter.
In order TO elicit the view Of one 50 well
informed on the subject rs Prof. Goldwin
Smith, q letter was addressed 10 him by
Erastus wiman, President Of the Canadian
Club, asking his opiuion as 10 the possible
consent Of Greal Britain, should the Cana
din Parliament favor measure Of similar
import the result Of which would be .
commercial union between the two coun-
tries.
The views of the Oxford Professor. as
given in reply to this letter, are as follows:
April 10, 1857.
MY DEAR wIssk-The question Is nat
urally asked, as you say, whether the con-
sent Of Great Britain could be obtained to
a measure Of complete reciprocity, which
would involve an assimilation Of tariffs be-
tween Canada and the United States Ger
tainly, the Canadians rs loyal oolonists,
who have every reason 10 feel grateful and
attached TO their mother country, would
not act in defiance to her wishes. For my
own part, being British 10 the core, j
would never vote for anything which /
thought In the least degree at variance
with the interest or honor Of Great Britain.
But Canada has already been taken form
ally as well as practically out Of the COM
mercial unity Of the Empire by Sir John
Macdonald, who has declared that he is for
fiscal home rule TO the hilt
Fiscal independence was formally con.
ceded TO the colonies some time ago, when
the Imperial Government determined not
TO interfere with the adoption by an Aus
tralian colony Of a protective tariff. Can
ada already leyies duties avowedly protec-
tive on British goods and her adoption Of
the American scale would make no grent
difference, rs it appears to me, either prac-
tically or in point OF principal. Ii Is not q
matter, imagine, about which the COM
mercial classes Of England, who took the
change in the Canadian tariff coolly enough
would feel very strongly, or call loudly on
their Government to interfere.
That the one great interest Of England
on this side of the Atlantic is the friend
ship of the English speaking communities
on this continent, has long been my 6rm
belief, and though l, Of course, speak with
no authority, feel sanguine expectation
that this argument pressed by those
whose attachment TO Great Britain cannot
be questioned, will prevail upon the Brit
ish statesmen, and that the consent Of the
Imperial Government 10 free trade between
Canada and the United States will be OBJ
tained.
